Tai chi study to prevent memory loss from becoming dementia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing tai chi over time can stop or slow mild memory problems from turning into dementia. If you have early, Alzheimer-related mild cognitive impairment, tai chi might help protect thinking and memory.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 55 and 85 years old and can follow the study rules
- You have mild cognitive impairment linked to Alzheimer’s, not dementia
- Your memory testing shows mild impairment (MMSE 24 or less and/or MOCA between 17 and under 26)
- You can do study activities and scans, including MRI (you’re physically able)
- Your overall daily functioning is mostly intact (FAQ under 5) and your condition fits the study ratings
- You do not have medical or brain causes of memory problems other than Alzheimer-related mild impairment
